lyrics

Songbird

Verse 1
There's a well at the end of my street,
I've made many wishes; they've weighed down my feet.
The wind headed northward, it blew me away.
Save me for market, market day.

Dress them in clothes, patterned in lace,
Teach them to button their mouths, paint their faces.
I pray that your fears are dust in the flame.
Dance on your darkest day, peppered with April rains.

Chorus
Songbird, take my weary words.

Verse 2
Love's great devourer has bitten your tongue.
So curl up your fingers, stick out your thumb.
For the north wind has blown you, far from their frowns.
So find a new market, market in town.

Paper's are spinning, much to delay.
Tripping on lip-locked lies, try not to patronize me.

Chorus

Songbird! I know my heart may waver, but triplet the quaver,
Songbird! La, la, la
